What Makes Stratus Admissions Counseling Unique:
- At Stratus Admissions Counseling, you work with two admissions counselors so that you have both a partner in this process and an objective, external evaluator at every step along the way (not just at the very end when it’s too late to address any areas for improvement).
- By assigning you two counselors, Stratus Admissions Counseling also ensures that your application package will appeal to readers/interviewers with diverse personal and professional backgrounds.
- Stratus Admissions Counseling have a proven, robust, proprietary admissions strategy methodology that will guarantee that you are most effectively marketing yourself to the schools of your choice (we believe getting into the top schools is about much more than simply drafting well-written essays). This strategy ensures critical alignment between all the facets of your application.
- None of Stratus Admissions Counseling’s MBA Admissions Counselors have full-time jobs (unfortunately such moonlighting is all too common in this industry). MBA Admissions Counseling is the main source of income for all of our counselors so you are their #1 priority.
- Our counselors, most of whom are former consultants, bankers, and corporate marketers, are available in person, by phone, and via email to assist you any time.
- We strictly cap the number of clients/schools each counselor works on so that you can be sure to get the individualized attention and quick turnaround times that you deserve.
- All of our counselors are graduates themselves from top 5 MBA programs with significant admissions experience.
- Our team treats every MBA application that we work on as if it were our own; we will not rest until you and we are satisfied that there is nothing else you could possibly do to improve your chances of gaining admission to the schools of your choice.
- We are the only MBA Admissions Counseling firm to release school-by-school success rates

Target Schools :
With the 720 GMAT- your "targets" are going to be Mendoza and Tepper. Stretches will be Tuck and Ross and Darden and Yale. Remember that whatever the "avg" GMAT score is- for a candidate from India just go ahead and throw 20-30 more points on there to be "avg" for that school as most likely the highest GMAT scores are coming from India and you are being compared to your pool of applicants. That's why while a 720 is a great score overall, to be on the safe side from India it would help more to be a 740 to make sure you make all the screens in a school. What happens is that there will be far fewer applicants with those higher scores and the schools will look to fill their class from that group first- and if they can- and they often can-- the people in the 700-720 range are fighting for just a few seats and it is harder to break through the clutter at that point. Other schools I'd look at for you right now: Emory, McCombs, Cornell as your current GMAT may go farther there.... Best wishes to you and if you would like to learn more how we can help you be one of the people who has the compelling story that breaks through the noise... seek us out for a free consult... https://stratusprep.com/admissions/busi ... onsulting/1.
